Quote:Studio 8 supports importing video directly from a MICROMV camera, using device control to position the tape from the Studio interface. It also can export video back to the camera, after you have manually positioned the tape and started recording.
As Studio imports the MICROMV video, it converts it on the fly to a standard MPEG-2 program stream before writing the data to disk. Because of this processing, it does not display the incoming video while capturing. The captured video then is stored as a MPG file, which means it can be read and processed by a wider range of applications.
Even though Studio can read MPEG-2 files, it is not a native IBP MPEG-2 editor. Shuttling through a MPEG-2 file during editing was sluggish on my system, so you really need to convert MPEG-2 data to DV before doing any interesting editing with it.
So if Studio 8 can do it, then Studio 9 will be fine.
One more question.
If I decide to buy Pinnacle Studio 9, there are plenty of propositions on EBay.
As they propose different packages with different content, which one is good to buy as I do not want to buy any "extra" that I would not use.
As I have told I am going for Pinnacle Studio 9, because of micromv format on my camcorder, and finally I would like to get files burned on DVD.
